In Circular No 1/2009/TT-NHNN issued by the central bank back on January 23, which provided that lenders and borrowers could negotiate interest rates on consumer loans and credit cards, the State Bank did not mention what sectors were banned from negotiating interest rates.

The State Bank ordered financial institutions end such lending practices no later than March 31 of next year, requiring State Bank branches to be responsible for inspecting and verifying the compliance of financial institutions and reporting monthly to it./.
